Experienced Robin Uthappa played a responsible 35-ball 39-run knock to guide India to 178\/5 in 20 overs.

Murali Vijay was the more aggressive of the two, hitting five boundaries and a six. But just when it seemed India would run away with the proceedings, Vijay (34 off 19 balls) was run out in the 7th over. His dismissal checked India's run-making march, which was quickly dealt another blow when skipper Rahane (33 off 32 balls) departed 14 balls later<\/p>\r\n\r\n
